Make sure you delete it first before retrying > your checkout. FYI -- I had something similar to this in an older version of CVS NT server (last 1.x release, I believe). I don't know if it's been fixed and could be a client issue, too. My symptoms: cvs co project cd project cvs update -d -- same error as above. After investigating it, checking through source, etc, I found it to be a hosed Entries file in the CVS subdirectories. They were not complete. I don't know the source of it, but manually fixing the Entries files (multiple, if you have multiple directories), resolved it for me. Regards, Jeff
